Today in Year 1, the children had a fantastic time designing and creating their very own shadow puppets.
We began by using our imaginations to think of a character or idea for our puppet before sketching our designs. Next, we carefully drew the outlines onto black paper, added details and cut out our shapes. We then used colourful, transparent cellophane to bring our puppets to life, thinking carefully about where to place the different colours. Finally, we attached a stick so that we could hold and move our puppets.
Throughout the workshop, the children showed wonderful creativity, patience and care as they turned their ideas into finished puppets. We ended the session with a lovely shadow puppet show, where everyone had the opportunity to proudly show off their creations and see how the light shone through the colourful cellophane!
A huge thank you to the team from the Puppet Theatre Barge team for such a fun and inspiring workshop. We are so proud of our wonderful puppet makers!
Well done Year 1!
